Methods: Thirteen patients with giant serpentine aneurysms were studied at our institution in the last 3 years. They all underwent CT and MR studies as well as cerebral angiography. More recently, some of the patients were studied with MR angiography. Seven patients had endovascular occlusion of the giant serpentine aneurysms, 3 with N-butyl cyanoacrylate, 2 with Guglielmi detachable coils, and 2 with detachable balloons.

Results: Giant serpentine aneurysms mimic cerebral neoplasms on CT and MR studies; they are often associated with mass effect and adjacent edema, and they enhance with contrast medium. The cerebral angiogram shows a residual irregular lumen of the partially clotted aneurysm, which continues into normal branches supplying the distal arterial territory. Six patients were treated successfully with an endovascular approach consisting of complete and permanent occlusion of the parent artery.

Conclusion: Giant serpentine aneurysms from a subgroup of large intracranial aneurysms that have specific CT, MR, and angiographic features, which should be recognized before their treatment. The endovascular treatment of the aneurysm consists of permanent occlusion of the parent artery.

The partially thrombosed giant cerebral aneurysm has a heterogeneous signal on MRI, reflecting the variable age of underlying blood products. The serpentine intra-aneurysmal vascular channel is best appreciated on angiographic sequences.

T2: heterogeneous often with hypointense foci in the partially thrombosed aneurysm, flow voids within the serpentine intra-aneurysmal vascular channel; vasogenic edema may be seen in the adjacent parenchyma

The Kestrel 'Serpentine' features beautiful hand-engraved handles with 24K gold inlays by Tyler Prince. The blade is hand-forged 'Hornets Nest' damascus by Mike Norris; the one-hand button lock and the thumb stud are set with spinel gemstones.

A serpentine shape is any of certain curved shapes of an object or design, which are suggestive of the shape of a snake (the adjective "serpentine" is derived from the word serpent). Serpentine shapes occur in architecture, in furniture, and in mathematics.

The serpentine shape is observed in many architectural settings. It may provide strength, as in serpentine walls, it may allow the facade of a building to face in multiple directions, or it may be chosen for purely aesthetic reasons.

In furniture, serpentine-front dressers and cabinets have a convex section between two concave ones.[4] This design was common in the Rococo period.[5] Examples include Louis XV commodes and 18th-century English furniture.[6]

Serpentinite is a metamorphic rock that forms at tectonic plate boundaries deep within the Earth. In the Franciscan Complex, it formed when ocean water carried down with subducting ocean crust was heated and moved through upper mantle and basal ocean crust rocks, hydrating their magnesium- and iron-rich minerals, like olive and pyroxene, to form magnesium-rich serpentine minerals.

Hot water forced through tiny fractures and pores in the mantle rock dissolves some silica from the rock into it. This silica-rich water then chemically reacts with mantle rock minerals like olivine to produce serpentine minerals by the formula below:

The latest generation Kraftwerks Honda S2000 Supercharger System features a reconfigured drive system harnessing a serpentine belt. This retrofit includes all components necessary to upgrade your currently installed* 2000 to 2003 S2000 Supercharger System from the previous cog-drive to the new serpentine belt system.

Reliability and maintainability are improved with this kits reconfigured drive system. The new serpentine drive includes an automatic tensioner which allows easier maintenance and replacement when necessary.

This retrofit includes the updated serpentine drive supercharger mount bracket, updated pulley system, 6 Rib Double-Sided Belt, and the built in tensioner along with all hardware necessary to complete the upgrade.

* This retrofit kit is NOT a complete supercharger system and does not include all the elements needed to supercharge your vehicle. Previous model supercharger system must already be installed on your vehicle.

Kraftwerks Performance Group is proud to bring you the most advanced supercharger system available.

At the core of each Kraftwerks supercharger kit is the revolutionary and patented Rotrex, traction-drive supercharger. The proprietary design allows for reduced weight; smaller, quieter, cooler operation; and shaft speeds in excess of 2 Read More

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a common, locally invasive, keratinocytic, or nonmelanoma skin cancer. It is also known as rodent ulcer and basalioma. Patients with BCC often develop multiple primary tumours over time.

Superficial basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of BCC in younger adults and is the most common type on upper trunk and shoulders. The clinical features of superficial basal cell carcinoma are:

Morphoeic basal cell carcinoma, also known as morpheic, morphoeiform, or sclerosing basal cell carcinoma, is usually found in midfacial sites. It can have wide and deep subclinical extensions and may infiltrate cutaneous nerves (perineural spread). It presents as an indistinct, waxy, scar-like plaque with ill-defined borders.

Thickening of the epidermis causes dilated papillary dermal blood vessels (which usually appear as red dots) to be drawn out to form sharply defined fine linear and branching serpentine vessels. They sit close to the surface of the skin.

Hydrophobic coated flow cell / microreactor with a serpentine channel with a length of 350mm. Channel width: 145m, channel height: 45m.

The chip has a 175m thick bottom and is manufactured from D263Bio glass.

Application possibilities

This product is designed for observation purposes and offers sublime optical performance in combination with microscopy. This allows high resolution imaging.

Coating

The selected products features a hydrophobic coating. This coating will change the contact angle between channel surfaces and the liquid.

This coating can influence the binding of proteines and other biomolecules. There's currently no information availble if autofluorescence is influenced.

Hosted by Gaylene Gould, the latest series of Serpentine Podcast features international artists, thinkers, writers, designers, and other practitioners who are dreaming of shifts in our reality. Released each Wednesday from 18 January to 15 February 2023 across podcast streaming platforms, REWORLDING combines large-scale questions and leading ideas with simple, tangible tools that listeners can action on any scale, from reconnecting with childhood games to keeping the memory of a person alive.

How can looking back alter our perceptions of what we wish for the future? What does it mean to creatively engage with myths, historical artefacts, life stories, and monuments? In this episode, we hear from artists and researchers who are questioning accepted histories, drawing out underrepresented elements of cultural memory, and re-approaching the past in order to open up space in the present.

How can the way we play change the way we live? How are creativity, collaboration, and change adaptation related, and why do these activities help people to thrive? In the third episode of REWORLDING, we discuss why artists and architects are choosing to create new possibilities through work with play spaces, games, and playable digital realities. This episode explores what these can teach us about the world to come, and how we will navigate it.

How do we co-create our world with other species, and how are artists working with these beings in response to ecological instability? This episode reflects on the need for reconnection, healing and regeneration, and showcases art that celebrates our connection to a wider web of life and plays an active role in nurturing other lifeforms.

How can relationships transform us, and our world? The final episode of the series explores how artists are actively collaborating with communities to change their daily realities, and how they are engaging collective dreaming and challenging their own ways of connecting to others.

Minerals in the serpentine subgroup are usually green or brown, but can also be black, yellow or white. It is believed the common green color is what inspired the name, serpentine, being a similar color and texture to that of a snake.
